Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has made it clear that he has no comment on the purported exit of Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, from the Etihad until the news is official.
The 44-year-old Spanish tactician made this known recently while speaking on Sky Sports.
On Monday night, several English media outlets reported that Guardiola has decided to quit City at the end of this season.
The 55-year-old’s last fixture will be Sunday’s Premier League game against Aston Villa at home.

Before then, City travel to Bournemouth, knowing they need to win to stay in the title race until the final day. This follows Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Burnley at the Emirates on Monday.
The FA Cup triumph at the weekend took Guardiola’s tally to 20 trophies since he arrived in England.
It was also reported that he will be replaced by his former assistant and ex-Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca.
Reacting to the news of Guardiola’s exit, Arteta said: “Once he makes that decision then we can talk about it. Before that, nobody should do it.”
